In addition to the situation, Duque points out that there are structural issues that prevent greater socioeconomic mobility between generations in Brazil, which explains the current frustration. CEO of the Institute for Mobility and Social Development (IMDS) and columnist for GLOBO, Paulo Tafner agrees.

The economist defends public policies to boost the economy and strengthen the competitiveness of Brazilian industries in the global market, as a way to boost the country’s growth and, consequently, mobility: Our economic process has not been able to generate social mobility and eliminate poverty. It means that we have to make a monumental effort to transfer income. But the best way is in the process of economic development, to have opportunities for everyone.
